'We have been receiving military support from America'

 

Russian warplanes carried out two airstrikes Thursday targeting the training camp in Idlib of a Syrian rebel group supported by the CIA, a rebel commander told CNN.

"Our training camp is located in Jabel al Zawia in Idlib and we have been receiving military support from America to help fight Daesh in Aleppo and Idlib," said Hassna Haj Ali, the commander of the northern division of Suqur al Jabal brigade.

The group has been fighting ISIS in northern Syria for over a year.

Ali said no one was killed by the Russian airstrikes.

However, Syrian activist Khdaier Khushfa in Homs told CNN via Skype that 17 civilians had been killed in Talbesieh and 11 others in Zafaraniya by the Russian airstrikes Wednesday, and 46 people had been critically wounded.

"We are very concerned of what will happen next. Civilians I spoke to are very scared," Khushfa said. "It's like after five years since the revolution started we are back to ground zero."
